I'd like to see an option to require both biometric and pin.

I believe that some courts in the US have ruled that pins/passwords are protected by the 5th amendment, but biometrics are not, so you can be compelled by the court to do anything that requires only a fingerprint/face to enable.


Coming soon, your banking app doesn't work without 'Identity Check' turned on.
